Family Fund
We will look at any grant request that relates to the needs of a disabled or seriously ill child, young person and their family.
Families often apply for essential items such as washing machines, but we can also help young people aged 17 and under with grants that have particular meaning to their age group, such as equipment for college.
Due to our limited funding, we are not always able to meet the full cost of every item requested.
All our grants are discretionary and subject to available funding.

Merlins Magic Wand
We welcome applications on behalf of children aged 2-18 with a Serious illness/Long Term illness, disability* or disadvantage, who would benefit from a day out at a Merlin attraction.
Applications are now open for 2015.
Merlin's Magic Wand continues to help more and more children every year but our resources are not unlimited and due to a high demand for tickets we are currently only accepting applications from those families or children we have not previously supported/have not visited us before.
We are sorry if this causes disappointment but our aim is to ensure that the maximum number of eligible children are able to enjoy a day out with us just as so many have already done.
This will be under review and should the situation change we will advise you of this on our website.
